Want to Participate?

We offer a number of opportunities to participate in the LOUIS Users Conference. If you are interested in participating, check out the list of conference session types and start brainstorming!

Conference sessions include:

• Breakout Session (conventional 40 minute presentation with 10 minutes of questions and discussion)
• Panel Discussion (a group of colleagues proposes a single theme to be addressed by multiple speakers, each of whom presents a distinct element or perspective - 45 to 50 minutes)
• Quick Talk (succinct talk on a brief topic or program - 15 minutes of presentation with 5 minutes of questions and discussion)
• Sharing Session (a group with similar interests gathers to discuss a topic for 45 minutes)

Note: All 2025 conference presentations will be given in person.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of topics that are excellent for LUC sessions:
